Hi
I am planning to update newspaper theme 4.6.3 to 6.1 version and i have some clarifications in it.
1. Will you please list me the files can be overrided by the child theme?
2. How can i disable google fonts completely and stop loading them via child theme?
Hi,
1. Unfortunately at the moment we don’t have an official documentation regarding theme’s regular child system and right now just files that are located in theme’s root can be overwritten using the child theme, this means posts template files(in this case just the default post template the single.php file as for the other ones we have some issues which we’re trying to fix as soon as possible), page templates, category/archive/author.. templates as well as the header and footer templates.
For modules and headers/block/modules and so on.. we’ve added the API based system about which you can find more detailed info here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-method/
We also have this in our attention and plan to improve the child theme overwriting system in the near future. We hope to offer the possibility of overwriting most of theme’s files using the child theme and for that we have to find the best solution for it and the right implementation.
2. You can remove the default google fonts from the config file here: http://screencast.com/t/wmxKL4rF which can’t be edited using the child theme. Sorry!
Thanks for the message!
1. I am very keen to update your latest version theme to replace existing 4.6.3 version. Your old version child theme customization supports https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation/ hierarchy. How long does it takes to apply for newspaper 6.3 version?
You can remove the default google fonts from the config file here: http://screencast.com/t/wmxKL4rF which can’t be edited using the child theme. Sorry!
Then give an option to disable google fonts via theme options panel. That does make sense. Every time when i update the theme i have do replace the file manually which is very painful.
Will you please answer for above questions?
Hi,
Sorry for the delay, we’re going to include the old method (just copy the file inside child theme) in the next update, we’re working on it.
I’ve added your suggestion with the Google fonts disable option on our list. For the moment they can be disabled via API, you just have to define an empty array for this property – http://screencast.com/t/OjwkBYy5S – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-plugin-method/
Thank you!
Newspaper 6 contains full of bugs.
1. How long does it takes to release the next version to support like newspaper 4 child theme?
2. I did remember that i have requested you to provide the option to disable google fonts here https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newspaper-theme-some-issues/ nearly 10 months before. But nothing happens till date.
3. I am completely unaware of WordPress API method to disable google fonts. Will you please explain me step by step how to disable google fonts via WordPress API?
Hi,
1. We plan to release it next week.
2. The disable option via API was added so it’s possible to disable the without editing the main theme code. The font system was on our list for a major change and we delayed any related feature. I’ve added your suggestion for an easier option(on/off switch).
3. You jut need to create a plugin like it’s described in the API plugin method – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-plugin-method/
Replace the code presented in the demo with – http://screencast.com/t/22gOtSeHlM
td_global::$default_google_fonts_list = array ();
Thank you!
Hi emil
Did you included the feature to disable Google Fonts Via theme options panel?
Hi,
It is still on our list, but it is not a priority as we have many features on our list and we have to pick very carefully what we implement. It will be added an option in one of the future updates but I cannot provide you a date.
Thanks!
